If we have a reservation at a resort do we need to show the confirmation at the resort guard gate?
ID so they have a record of who came through the gate in case there's a reason to need to know after the fact.Generally they just ask to see an ID (never quite clear on the reason for this) and wave you through. On busier days they will verify in the system, but I've only had that happen maybe three times in over 200+ dinners.

The bad guys typically don't want to hand over ID, so it is a layer of security screening.Generally they just ask to see an ID (never quite clear on the reason for this) and wave you through
We drove to a number of our resort ADRs for our trip last December. On the earlier side of our trip, they were fine with just "we have a reservation," but towards the end (as we got closer to Christmas), they wanted our ADR confirm numbers and ID to verify that we actually had dining booked at their resort. Case in point...ADR at GF on day 1 we were let into the lot without question, but for ADR at GF on day 8 (Dec 23) I needed to give them info the ressie # and my ID.
On Sunday Dec 9, we had dinner reservations at 5:25 at Chef Mickey. We were staying at Universal, so we did not have magic bands.
The line to get into the parking lot was incredibly long.
They were only letting people into the Contemporary parking lot that had proof of hotel or restaurant reservations.
This was causing a huge delay. My only proof of our reservation was on the MyDisneyExperience app on my phone, which they accepted and let me in... but it took over 15 min for us to get through the gate guard line.
If you don't have magic bands with the reservation, you should print something out as proof.
THAT is very good data . Sounds like Dear Wife and I have not been overly paranoid .
Before every trip? We pull up "My Plans" on the DCV Website, PRINT AS PDF, then load that PDF on our Cell Phones. This lets us bring up any RES # in a heartbeat - even if MDE is down.
